AllAboutMi’s advanced waxing course is one-day in length and covers all the practical and theoretical aspects with students expected to both give and receive the treatment, to ensure they gain a full understanding of what is like for both parties.
This advanced waxing course will teach you the techniques using Brazilian hard wax/hot wax. Everything is provided for the purpose of training and advice will be given regarding where to obtain your equipment and products during the course. The course also covers salon etiquette, marketing ideas, price guidelines and commercial timings.
The new Delsera Female Intimate Waxing course held at the Ellisons Academy, is designed for qualified, practising therapists who want to be able to offer female intimate waxing in their business.
Students will learn how to use the Delsera products and specific female intimate waxing application techniques, alongside relevant health and safety issues, contra-indications, after-care and business advice.
This course is designed for learners who have already had experience of waxing either at NVQ Level 2 or have attended theAcademy’s depilatory waxing course.
The Delsera products are demonstrated by the tutor including how to prepare and consult with the client. Learners will be expected to carry out each treatment on each other with support and guidance from the tutor.You will also need to bring a model along for your assessment. Upon completing the course you will understand and be able to perform the procedure required for Delsera female intimate waxing.
NSI offer two intimate waxing courses, one specifically designed for male intimate waxing and a Brazilian waxing course. IntimateMaleWaxing is a specialist one-day course to show you how to provide this professional treatment to your male
clients.Male waxing, otherwise known asMale Brazilian or ‘Back, Sack and Crack’ waxing is a hair removal treatment especially for
men.As the name suggests hair is removed from the client’s back, scrotum and anal area.
Meanwhile, if you’re looking to specialise in female intimate waxing
then the BrazilianWaxing course will help you to identify the differences between different types of intimate waxes such as a Brazilian and a Playboy, and provide you with up to four alternative bikini waxes to add to your price list, giving your clients more choice and allowing you to increase your revenue.
Lycon’s intimate waxing courses can only be completed once therapists have completed the Introduction to Lycon training, which covers bikini and G-String waxing training, or by those therapists who already hold a Lycon certificate of training.
Once this initial training has been completed however, there are two further specialised waxing courses to choose from including Lycon Advanced Brazilian and Hollywood PrecisionWaxing, and theMale BrazilianWaxing course. Both training avenues will cover everything from client comfort, correct positioning and client modesty to the precise application and techniques required.
Currently classes are held at Lycon training schools in London, Manchester and Edinburgh with more locations to be announced in the future. On-location training is also an option for those salons who may be looking to train more than one therapist or who are unable to attend the training schools.

To further protect your clients and your staff, you might want to think about setting down some ground rules on what you expect of your therapists during the procedure in terms of conduct, professional standards and salon etiquette.
“I would advise that as a salon you put together a professional procedure agenda that all therapists follow when carrying out such a treatment, covering aspects such as health and safety, consultation techniques, appropriate language and conversation topics etc. It is important that no therapist is forced to do a treatment that they are not happy carrying out,” remarksMarie-Louise.
Britta agrees: “Manners and professional behaviour are very important with this treatment to make sure your client can relax in the
knowledge that you are a professional therapist and also to avoid any misunderstanding or confusion.
“We recommend to wear gloves as many clients prefer this and it keeps you and the client safe, make sure the surrounding is professional, i.e. salon or fully equipped beauty room with couch etc. and ensure that your client can be given full privacy with lockable door, curtains etc.”
Marie-Louise adds: “As I mainly work alone I have a policy where I don’t carry out intimate waxing on male clients, this is purely a safety issue as I don’t want to put myself in a difficult position. I am by no means implying that any man who calls me would have inappropriate intentions but I am not willing to put myself in that position. That said I would ensure that there was always at least two therapists in when such a treatment was taking place.”
Once the treatment is over, it’s vital to recommend the appropriate aftercare as failure to do so could lead to the client experiencing some unnecessary post-waxing irritation.
“Don’t just let the client go home empty-handed, once the treatment has finished give out leaflets with ‘Dos and Don’ts’ and recommend or sell aftercare products that will help the skin stay smooth and well looked after,” advises Britta.
To give you an idea of the most common ‘Dos and Don’ts’, The Art and Science of Beauty Therapy (edited by Jane Foulston et al) suggests that you should advise your client that for 24-48 hours after the treatment they must:
• Only wash or shower in lukewarm water;
• Not use exfoliators for two-three days depending on the skin’s reaction;
• Use soothing after-wax gels, lotions or oils to moisturise the skin;
• Not use soap deodorant or perfumed products;
• Not use self-tanning preparations in the area waxed;
• Not wear tight fitting clothes;
• Not be exposed to UV light (through sunbathing / use of sunbeds);
• Not have a heat treat (i.e. sauna).
